I'm more partial to the nonsense of Zen, at least there is some following amusement in there. Though your Buddhism is far from representative of all Buddhism. Perhaps being more up front with your stance or still to this point, having any evidence of this rainbow body effect existing. Yes there are a couple people even in the 20th century who are presumed to have achieved this? And the evidence of that is? What anecdotal evidence from other Buddhist practitioners who simply proclaim it happened? What else is there?

Sure, also if you view reality in another Buddhist way of nothing ever does die, it just changes form. Then you don't need to die either, you just change form. Except using those phrases doesn't alter anything.

He is a much more prolific author on these subjects and they would be more useful in your personal life and those of others. Don't take it to wrong, but you kind of sound like a lunatic right now.

Have you even bothered to google "Dzogchen rainbow body" in Google Books?
